Incurably insane from reading novels. Drinks too much tea. Bicycle weirdo. Addicted to houseplants.

Inflation rose 6.8% in April, up from 6.7% in March. Price of gas slowed slightly, but still up by more than 36%. Groceries up almost 10%, shelter up 7.4%.

Been sketching these for almost two weeks now, this show has cured my art block and i was at the point where i didn't think that was possible, so nice to have been proven wrong :') #OurFlagMeansDeath #ourflagmeansdeathfanart #ofmd #OFMDspoilers

The Regency Faerie Tales are being re-released by @orbitbooks! I've been keeping that news under my hat like a good author, but the truth is now FREEEEE! I'm very proud of the work we've done on the books, and I hope everyone enjoys the new editions.

@RosaJSaba Every episode heals a little bit of my soul. It's so good.

[Christina E. Cox @ChristinaECox]

Today, when introducing WWI, a student raised her hand and brought up the death of a certain archduke. Nobody knew his name, so as a hint, I offered that he shares his name with a band.

Gentle reader, my students asked if there had perhaps been an Archduke Metallica.

I've spent the last weeks reading about the history of houseplants, which starts w/displays of colonial control & turns into 19th c. Victorian refinery & becomes very uncool until "rescued" by the Modernists

It's far more interesting than I anticipated: https://t.co/oifuy3zZXq

@paracactus @lrich1024 Yay! It looks super pretty.

Also let me know if you want non-fic about embroidery and textile history. Boy do I have books for you if you wanna tear apart the 'not like other girls' embroidery hating character.

[Getting Better with Jonathan Van Ness @betterwithjvn]

NEW EPISODE: This week, we’re talking about the history of farming!

i need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing. my empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology.
‘cause i am no mother, i’m no bride, i am king.

[Dr. Emily Friedman @friede]

Small Nephew has drawn his 1st #dnd dungeon & we’re exploring it.

SN: “you are in a room with a lot of stuff.”

Me: “what kind of stuff? Loot? Magic items? Skeleton bones? Trash?”

SN: “Trash! lots of glass bottles…”

Me: “…are we in the dungeon’s recycling center?”

(We are)

Thread: The Orientalizing of Moulana Rumi

Many of you may be familiar with the 'Rumi quotes' that circulate the internet. What if I told you the vast majority of them are fake and they are part of a project to secularize Rumi? This isn't a whatsapp conspiracy.

[Gretchen @GretchSchreiber]

I love romance as a genre. But I almost never see physically disabled women as love interests.

And in light of convos about rep and "not leaning into your disability" let's talk about why that's not the solution.

Hey, scientific backing for my first rule of social media -- "Any unmoderated space eventually becomes toxic."

Remember, fellow devs. A community without robust moderation is a functional a product as a car without brakes.

[Gillian Gray @GigiGlorious]

The RPG panel is one of the things I'm most proud of organizing. So many cool people are joining us to talk about games and storytelling. Please come ask them questions.
